The research sample was selected using the purposive sampling method so that 32 companies were sampled. The data used in this study uses social cost as the basis for calculating CSR, Ln Total Assets as a calculation of company size, the year the company was founded until the research was conducted as a calculation of company age and the DER ratio as a control variable. The data analysis used to test the hypothesis is regression analysis using the Eviews 12 program.
 Results: The results showed that CSR significantly affects financial performance. The results also show that the company size variable significantly affects company performance. In addition, the results also show that the age of the company and the control variable debt to equity ratio has no significant effect on financial performance with ROE measurement but have a significant impact on PBV financial performance measurement.

Similarly, the size of a company can contribute to its positive or negative financial performance of the company. But on the other hand, the company's age may or may not affect the company's financial performance, as well as the debt-to-equity ratio, which may or may not affect the company's financial performance.
